Israel Defence Forces border guards arrested a Palestinian male carrying six high powered pipe bombs through the Qalandiya checkpoint. The 20 year old was stopped north of Jerusalem at 3:00pm local time.
From the Jerusalem Post:
The young man arrived at the north Jerusalem checkpoint at around 3 pm. He aroused the suspicion of Border Guard forces stationed there that upon a search of his possessions found six small pipe bombs, and proceeded to arrest him. A sapper was called in to dismantle the devices.
This is the same location where a female Palestinian terrorist attacked soldiers with a knife. While some checkpoints were removed for good reason, this is proof of the reason why we need to keep many of them intact.
